For ability to have better upscale than Cxbx-Reloaded's upscale hack method. You will need to download dgVoodoo** then put two files in same folder as where `cxbx.exe` file is in, which are `D3D9.dll` *(can be found in MS > x86 folder)* and `dgVoodooCpl.exe`.
You need to download [dgVoodooWIP##.zip](http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/dgVoodoo2.html) then put two files in the same folder as `cxbx.exe`, `D3D9.dll` *(can be found in MS > x86 in the zip)* and `dgVoodooCpl.exe`.

* Click **Accept** to save the changes.
3. Launch your favorite title then enjoy the upscale mode! 😉
* dgVoodoo Watermark: **untick after confirmation that dgVoodoo2 is working**

* Filtering: **Force anisotropic filtering 16x**
* Antialiasing (MSAA): 8x
* Bilinear blit stretch: **tick**
* Apply Phong shading when possible: **tick**

**REMARKS**
* We do not accept issue reports when using any third-party programs that altered Cxbx-Reloaded internally in any method, including dgVoodoo.
* Modern monitors does not support 640x480 resolution and will output an error of `IDirect3D::CreateDevice failed`.
* except dgVoodoo will take over and upscale of given resolution from **dgVoodoo.conf** file directly for you with the steps given above.
* You do not need Cxbx-Reloaded's upscale hack method at all.
* When stop emulation, you will need to restart cxbx.exe in order to start new emulation.
* dgVoodoo is the not the cause of the isssue. "Exclusive Fullscreen Mode" is not stable when alt+tab out or using hotkey to stop the emulation.

For those do not know where the changes should occur in dgVoodoo's Control Panel can look at the screenshots below.

* We do not accept issue reports when using any third-party programs that alter Cxbx-Reloaded in any way, including dgVoodoo2.
* You do not need Cxbx-Reloaded's native upscaling. Using it in combination with dgVoodoo2's will cause issues.
* When stopping emulation, you will need to restart cxbx.exe in order to start new emulation.
* dgVoodoo2 is not the cause of the issue. "Exclusive Fullscreen Mode" is not stable when Alt+Tabbing out or using a hotkey to stop the emulation.
